This specimen was lot 269 in Aureo & Calicó sale 238 (Barcelona, November 2011), where it sold for 260 euro (about US$412 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"Manila. (Resello (MBC+) F.7º bajo corona sobre 8 reales de México 1822 JM. MBC-. (Manila, F.7º with low crown counterstamp on 1822 eight reales of Mexico. Nearly very fine.)"
This counterstamp was applied 1832-34 to Latin American pesos arriving in Manila from the newly independent republics, none of which were recognized by Spain. The SCWC lists over forty different types receiving this counterstamp; this Iturbide eight reales is one of the scarcer undertypes.
